Samsung - Wireless Rear Loudspeakers
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are just what I wanted. They give me the full surround sound that I want
I would recommend this to a friend Sounds good
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Paired the Samsung set-up with Sony smart TV. The sound is decent. However, there is a slight lag between screen & sound...Some stations are better than others with this device. It also takes a bit for the sound to come on (not instantaneous).

Posted .DanH,
Thank you for purchasing the Samsung Wireless Rear Loud Speakers. I am sorry to hear that you did not experience the full potential of the surround sound system.
Please know that by design, the surround speakers are supposed to simulate sounds happening behind the viewer. Therefore, most of the time the surround channels are only used for ambient sounds, which are naturally lower in volume.
However, there are a few settings you can change to adjust the surround effect to your preference:
1. Make sure that the source (e.g. TV output) is sending surround channels to the Soundbar. If the source is not surround, then set the Surround mode to OFF on the Soundbar by pressing the Surround button on the remote.
2. If the source has surround channels, select the desired Sound Mode from the Soundbar remote. Choices are STANDARD, MUSIC, CLEAR VOICE, SPORTS, or MOVIE.
3. Turn off Dynamic Range Control. This is done by pressing and holing the Sound Mode button while the Soundbar is in standby mode.
4. Increase the volume level of the surround speakers using the Sound Control button on the Soundbar remote control.
I hope these tips help to improve the issue with low volume. For further assistance, please contact our Customer Support at 1-800-SAMSUNG and a representative will gladly help you.

Great speakers
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great speakers, they have great sound and easily connected wirelessly to our existing Samsung soundbar.
I would recommend this to a friend They aren't truly wireless
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Well, I thought I was buying the wirless rear speakers that much up with the sound bar I had bough, and maybe these are the only speakers that "go with it" but they aren't truly wireless. There is a receiver that the speakers have to be wired to. So while they do not need to be directly wired to the sound bar, there is still wiring that needs to be dealt with. Had I realized, I probably would have invested in a different sound system all together. I think the sound that comes out of them seems reasonable though, so they aren't particulalry bad quality speakers, just not really what I was looking for when I made my purchase

Thank you for purchasing the Samsung SWA-8500S Wireless Rear Speaker Kit. I am very sorry for any confusion about the wireless description.
Often times, customers have trouble hiding and running speaker wires from the front of the room (where their soundbar is) to the back of their room (where they have their rear speakers). The SWA-8500S Kit eliminates that hassle. Connect the SWA-8500S rear speakers to its wireless module and place these three in the back of your room. One wire is required to connect each rear speaker to the wireless module. Then plug in the power cable to the module. The “wireless” convenience is in connecting your soundbar and any other speakers at the front of the room to the rear speakers – this can now be done via Wi-Fi through the wireless module, eliminating any clutter of long wires running the length of your room.
For complete setup instructions, please refer to your User Manual or go to this link:

Decent Upgrade to Sound
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These speakers definitely give your existing sounding bar a boost. Especially in a smaller room. Not the superior theatre sound of upper tier, but definitely a nice upgrade to a regular sound bar.
